The National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR), an Association representing more than 8000 members within the United States, is a national organization that is the primary interface between the federal government, state agencies and the search and rescue community. The Board of Directors is develops long term strategic plans and monitors the implementation of those plans by stafft to achieve the organization’s mission as well as representing the membership at the federal level and state level. I currently sit on the Strategic Marketing and Product Delivery sub-committees; both sub-committees focus on developing long term strategic plans for identifying and securing long term revenue sources. NASAR’s annual operating budget exceeds $500,000.

RT Corporation manufactures and sells Certified Reference Materials and Proficiency Tests to both the environmental and pharmaceutical industries Worldwide. As the Director of Marketing and New Business Development, I was responsible for preparing and implementing annual marketing plans and budgets that achieved the Executive Managements long term strategic goals. Primary achievements included identifying new international markets and arranging distribution channels within those regions. My achievements include identifying and developing distribution networks in Canada, Chile, China, Taiwan, Mexico, Africa, Israel, Brazil, and Korea. I oversaw the company’s SEO/Google Adwords efforts resulting in significant increases in both its organic and paid ad presence. Marketing campaigns during 2009 increased RT Corp’s customer base by ~15% and overall revenue increased by ~13%. Lastly, I was responsible for developing all marketing materials, including two 200 page catalogs annually.

Advanced Biologicals was a start-up biotechnology company whose focus was to provide research products to the biological research community. As President, I prepared a comprehensive business plan and prepared and submitted SBIR grants. I submitted and won two Wyoming Phase 0 grants and successfully submitted two Phase 1 SBIR grants to NIH. The business plan was recognized by the Colorado BioScience Association as being outstanding and Advanced Biologicals’ management was invited to participate in their Bio-Boot Camp. Advanced Biologicals was also invited to present the business plan at Big Sky Capital Conference and BioWest, competitive venues for raising capital. Additional presentations were made to multiple private investors, and two venture capital funds.

Biological Services provides services to University of Wyoming. Biological Services is currently working on three projects. The primary project is the optimization of microsatellite PCR primers for genotyping of otter and martin tissue, blood and fecal samples. The secondary project includes conducting the Supplemental Instruction Program for the basic biology course. Lastly, Biological Services provides professional proof reading and technical editing services to both faculty and students for manuscripts, grants and theses. The most recent proof reading and technical editing was with an Engineering Professor and her graduate students.

The research focused on developing in vivo approaches, including transient GFP markers and siRNA knockdowns, for studying neurokinin B (NKB) and the NKB receptor (NK3) in the rat brain. Studies included the intra-cellular trafficking and compartmentalization of NK3 within the Paraventricular Nucleus (PVN). Specifically, designed, purified, and characterized new polyclonal antibodies against both NK3 and NKB. Transcriptional studies required the development of micro-punch real time PCR procedures to measure NK3 and NKB transcripts. Initiated immuno-coprecipitation studies to begin to characterize chaperone proteins involved with NK3 function in vivo. siRNA knockdown studies were started to disrupt the NK3 receptor system in vivo to identify NK3’s role in fluid balance within the PVN. Responsible for literature searches as well as being current with the literature in the field. Coauthored manuscripts and helped prepare sections of grant applications for submission.

Was a member of an interdisciplinary group whose primary research focused on long-term impacts of maternal under-nutrition and the role of the renin-angiotensin system on cardiovascular and renal development in the fetus. Primary research focused on molecular regulation of the angiotensin receptors in the developing kidney, heart, and lung tissues in fetal sheep. I participated in large animal necropsies for the collection and dissection of organ tissues for molecular studies. Performed and oversaw molecular biology research in the laboratory and summarized the data to the principle investigators. Responsible for literature searches as well as being current with the literature in the field. Coauthored manuscripts and helped prepare sections of grant applications for submission.

Research focused primarily in new technology development to identify methods and procedures for incorporation into the company’s core technology base for HTS assays. Key achievements include: Project Leader for development and implementation of a β-thrombin HTS assay used by Pfzier in a drug discovery research program. Team Leader in developing 2 high throughput transcription assays used by Merck. Team Leader for the research team that identified Chromagen’s solid phase microplate chemistry and Chromagen’s fluorescent based transcription assay. Increased Chromagen’s assay robustness and improved statistical analysis of assay parameters. Setup Chromagen’s cell culturing facility and managed the facility. Management commonly assigned me to work with other groups to provide rapid troubleshooting analysis or prototype development.
